Subject: [CR] Campy "No Record" Hubs and Paramount Drilling


Looking through the parts bin I came upon a hub I didn't know I had. It is a Campy Record Large Flange, but drilled with an extra set of holes between the usual ones, i.e there are 72 holes rather than 36. I've read here these were made for Schwinn for Paramounts. What, again, was the purpose of the added drilling? I note the added holes are a bit larger than the standard ones. Which set did one actually lace the spokes through?

Another thing I note is that the hub is marked Campagnolo, but NOT "Record". Chuck's timeline says the word "Record" was added in 1963, so this hub would have to be very late 50's or very early 60's. Were all the double-drilled Schwinn hubs from this period, or did they appear on the later Record-marked hubs as well?
